Page 6: Conclusion

As the world's population grows and living standards improve, society needs more fuel and more food.

A plant science business like Syngenta needs to understand the SLEPT factors in its environment. This helps it target its scientific research and technological development to:

increase crop output

improve yield to enable farmers to provide the increased demand the world needs

create biofuels to replace existing fuels

reduce society's impact on biodiversity

Syngenta is a leading supporter of food, feed and biofuel production. It plays a crucial role in helping to address the two global challenges of food security and energy security without the need to devote more land to agriculture.
